Why do you think Hollywood:

1. ensures that it's relatively rare to see unabashed, unambiguous Black Love in media?

2. rarely allows a Black male character to have a dark-skinned Black woman as a love interest/romantic partner?
3. rarely depicts Black (or Brown) LGBTQIA+ people in relationships with each other and always has to add a white person in the mix?

4. almost completely erases Native/Indigenous/First Nations people or dresses them up in full stereotype?
5. always ties certain Asian populations to martial arts, but then always makes white people better at martial arts than them?

6. will have a whole movie or TV show without Black people, but be playing Black music in the background or on the soundtrack the whole time?
7. will always depict disability as superpower or superpity, but never as just a regular part of human life?

8. will low-key or high-key tell us in every imaginable way, that every women's ultimately goal is "finding a man"?
9. will always have Southeast Asian people speak English with an accent even if they were born, raised, and grew up in the U.S. or England IN STORY?

10. thinks that adding Black/Brown villains means they met their "diversity quota"?
11. Will erase Black women completely from the story, but then will have people who aren't Black women imitate Black women for laughs?
12. insist that every Latine person is from one country, is a drug dealer, maid, or trying to cross the border? (H/T Jamie Marie Cartright)
